<p>Seriously, this guy is going to last til pick #23, I guess NBA gms F up every year, but this kid has some star potential, which is something I have a hard time saying about most of this entire draft class. I'm pulling for my Bucks to somehow end up with Brooks, they ranked last in the entire league in offense and were 3rd in defense, you tell me how Brooks wouldn't provide immediate help to a team of bricklayers like the Bucks! And Hollinger can take his calculator and shove it where the sun don't shine, hey Johnny, You ever hear of the old &quot;eyeball test&quot; </p>

<p>I have Kemba going to the Kings. Vesely is a guy with high upside but also bust potential. </p>

<p>If it comes down to the Jazz deciding to take either Jimmer Freddette or Kemba Walker...they should pick Kemba!!!</p>

<p>The best reason for why the Jazz would pass on Brandin Knight is that there will be a quality PG or perhaps two left at #12 while there will not be much left in the way of a quality big. </p>
<p>If the Jazz do Take Kanter Toronto is the team celebrating as Brandin Knight slips to them</p>

<p>Does anyone remember Yaroslav Korolev? LA Clippers wasted a 12th pick on him in 2005. Well that is Jan Vesely, only the Wizards are gonna waste the 6th pick.</p>

<p>When have the Jazz ever told fans and the world who they will pick before the draft actually happens. Answer: NEVER. Its always a surprise. Case in point: Last year, Utah was expected to select Ed Davis because he apparently had a great workout with them, instead KOC unpopularity picked Gordon Hayward. (Which actually worked out quite nicely for them.) Most Jazz fans want Jimmer, because they love him. True, he would put fans in the seats, and he would sell tickets, but KOC said he would not select Jimmer just to appease the fans. He would select the right player for our team. And I'm sorry but Kanter and Fredette just don't make much sense for the Jazz. Why not:</p>
<p>Kanter: because they already have plenty of big men. (Millsap, Jefferson, Favors, Okur, Fesenko) Do they really need a 6th one? Doubt it. True, they could trade one of them. But, Kanter will likely want to start from day 1, which means you have to trade one of your starters in order to squeeze him into the starting lineup. (likely Jefferson) Which means Kanter himself or Favors would have to make up for that. You expect someone who hasn't basketball competitely for over a year to make up for a developed bruising PF like Jefferson? (ha, yeah right) You expect a player who is still raw offensively and still learning and very young to make up for losing Jefferson. (again, yeah right).</p>
<p>And Fredette? The guy plays no defense and has a sub-par passing game. All he does is score. True, he might be able to play some defense and have a better passing game than I expect, but if he wasn't asked to play that way at BYU, than I expect that he will be a bit rusty at his defense and passing. Which is same thing that I expect from Kanter since he hasn't played basketball competitively for over a year. He's going to be a little rusty. Both those picks just don't make sense jazz wise. </p>

<p>BYU fans (of which I am one) are NOTORIOUSLY cheap.Too cheap to spend $ on Jazz tickets.True Jazz fans do not want Jimmer . We want players that will help us win.A losing or even sub-par team with Jimmer on it will catch HELL from the fans.And any &quot;plan&quot; to sell tix alone will be sniffed out in a hurry and the front office knows that,therefore we'll pass on Jimmer for a superior player.</p>

<ul>
<li>Teams don't necessarily draft based on need, especially in the lottery. Look no further than Minnesota a couple years ago choosing two PGs with consecutive picks in Flynn and Rubio.<br />
</li>
<li>Contenders have different priorities with their picks. It makes a lot more sense to draft an older, more NBA ready player with limited upside if you're the Chicago Bulls as opposed to the Sacramento Kings.<br />
</li>
<li>Teams don't get &quot;cute&quot; with their second round picks. Most second rounders don't pan out, so teams will select whoever they feel strongest about, regardless of position.<br />
</li>
<li>It's worth seeing if a team even worked a player out before proclaiming your certainty that &quot;Team x&quot; will select &quot;Player y.&quot;</li>
</ul>
<p>With all that being said, don't knock this mock draft too hard. NBADraft.net has a strong track record with their final mock drafts...because they do their homework. While I don't agree with every pick (ex. I think Burks is above K.Thompson on MIL's draft board), nothing on this mock draft is ridiculous. I urge anyone who's curious to search twitter for some more &quot;inside&quot; information on particular teams' though processes about their pick.</p>

<p>What the Knicks really need is for Melo and A'mare to play some D and rebound the basketball, but since that is not going to happen I think you are dead on. Chris Singelton would also be a solid pick if he slips.</p>
